An order through amazon I did on may…

An order through amazon I did on may 23rd, on may 28th I got a notification "Collection Scheduled". Now it's june 9th and no updates whatsoever. In Amazon it just says "delayed". Over two and a half weeks with no communication or updates.

Thank you for your review we’re sorry to hear about the delay and lack of updates on your order.

As a carrier management company, we assist retailers with the collection and dispatch of parcels into courier networks, but we are not directly involved in the final delivery therefore ongoing tracking updates once the parcel has been handed over would come from the courier the sender has chosen.

That said, if you're able to reply to our request with your order or tracking details, a member of our team will gladly reach out to look into this for you and provide as much clarity where possible.

Lost packages,completely unreliable please do not order with whistl as they managed to lose two SEPARATE parcels

If I could give it 0 stars I would, I ordered two DVDs through MusicMagpie, and both parcels were sent with Whistl. Both were later confirmed by the seller as lost by the courier. I also paid €18 in customs charges before finding out the items would never be delivered. Although the seller refunded me, the experience was extremely disappointing because the DVDs were no longer available. I would not want important deliveries sent through this courier again. They were TWO SEPARATE parcels and managed to lose both but yet made me pay customs which I’m STILL trying to figure out how to get my money back.

Thank you for your review, we’re sorry to hear that your two parcels were not received as expected. We understand how frustrating and disappointing this must be.

As a carrier management company, we support retailers by providing software and managing the collection and dispatch of parcels into various courier networks. However, as we are not a courier ourselves, we are unfortunately not directly involved in the final delivery once items have been dispatched.

However, if you’re able to reply to our request with a few more details about the parcels, a member of our team will gladly reach out as soon as possible so that we may provide further clarity and guide you on the next steps.

If you think EVRI is bad think again

8 Days to deliver a parcel containing a CD - EIGHT DAYS.

It would have been quicker if I had ridden bareback to the senders property and brought it back myself. In fact it would have been quicker if I had hopped there and back.

Useless AI Customer Service

I ordered a DVD from musicMagpie, which according to the website was dispatched on 20May2026. The item shows as being received at Whistl's depot on 23May and there have been no updates since then.
I attempted to use the company webchat to find out when delivery would be made. Sadly the AI bot, Ceri is as dumb as soup and instead of answering the question it kept asking questions I had already answered. This is what you get when you replace a person with a badly programmed robot. Pathetic

Awful service

Awful service, poor communication. You don't know when the product is going to be delivered, no updates and even when I was home, heard knocking and rushed to open door, I only saw the delivery guy leaving in their car. 3 unsuccessful attempts to deliver despite being at home. Nobody called, nobody rang the bell. I called customer service and they cannot reschedule delivery, they can't send it to collection point, they can't leave it with neighbour and they can only leave it unattended in front of my home. When questioned, they said they've escalated this. Meanwhile no money, no product, no solution. Awful

Useless service

Every time Whistl is involved in a delivery it results in an extra two days being added on to the delivery time. This time appears to be taken up by a parcel 'travelling through their system', then being handed over to a courier for delivery, usually Royal Mail. Then the usual Royal Mail delivery time is added on so it ends up taking over a week instead of 2 to 3 days. Plants delivered where Whistl was involved have been in a poor condition when they've actually arrived. This time a delivery from Music Magpie has been delayed by Whistl's involvement. What are they actually for?

CD hasn't arrived, 22 days waiting.

Ordered CD from music magpie on amazon.
Ordered on 20th April 2026, it's now 9th May 2026, NO CD.
Checked tracking, last entry was on 23rd April 2026 @08.48, package transferred to another carrier for delivery, what the hell! That's 19 days ago, an no update from anyone about it.
There should be a no star facility.

Hopeless tracking

Hopeless tracking - per Whistl not sent yet. Actually has been delivered. Rather than post a useless reply here, work on getting the tracking system right.

Incredibly slow delivery company

I buy a lot off Music Magpie through Ebay and they are brilliant. Unfortunately, they use Whistl, who have got so slow. All my deliveries from Music Magpie have been delayed recently because Whistl are now taking ages to hand the items over to Royal Mail. A DVD I'd ordered was supposed to be delivered to me by Monday 20th. Whistl only bothered to hand it over to Royal Mail today, Wednesday 22nd. Totally useless.

Thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear that your delivery was delayed.
Typically, all items will be handed over to the delivering courier within 24 hours at most, it is rare that any parcels will be held over at our premises once we have received them from the sender however, if we could please ask you to respond to our request and provide your reference this will allow us to investigate further.
